SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION(S):
Approve.and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee (Patricia Tanquary) to execute on behalf
of the County, Contract Amendment/Extension Agreement #27-277-10 with Kaiser Foundation Health Plan,
Inc., a non-profit corporation, effective September 30, 2008, to amend Contract #27-277-8 (as amended by
Amendment Agreement #27-277-9), to increase the Contract payment limit by $11,100,000, from
$25,800,000, to a new total of$36,900,000, and extend the Contract term from September 30, 2008, through
September 30, 2009.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This Contract is funded 100% by Contra Costa Health Plan member premiums. Costs depend upon
utilization. As appropriate, patients and/or third-party payors will be billed for services.
BACKGROUND/REASON(S) FOR RECOMMENDATION(S):
Kaiser Foundation Health Plan has been a traditional provider of health care services to Medi-Cal
beneficiaries in Contra Costa County. With the implementation of the Local Initiative for Medi-Cal
managed care, Kaiser, in order to continue to enroll Medi-Cal members, must affiliate with the Local
Initiative. The affiliation arrangement allows Medi-Cal recipients to choose Contra Costa Health Plan as
their managed care plan, and designate Kaiser as their provider.
On October 3, 2006, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #27-277-8 (as amended by Amendment
Agreement#27-277-9) with Kaiser Foundation Health Plan, Inc., for the period from October 1, 2005 through
September 30, 2008, for the provision of professional health care services for Medi-Cal recipients enrolled in
Kaiser Foundation Health Plan.
